I’m very pleased with a feature and brief interview which has been published in the Issue #307 of the dutch Penthouse magazine in their “Art” section. I like how the initial question/answer interview has been included along the images.

The second event, is the opening of a new gallery where my work is going to be displayed, along with other outstanding works from all over the world. I’m really happy to be part of it. The “Unlimited Grain Gallery” opens its doors this coming Saturday, March 23rd, 4pm.

I’ve been just informed that the National Library of Australia has made all issues of Carrie Leigh’s NUDE a permanent holding, which is a great honor to everyone who has ever been featured in NUDE, including me.

Similar to the Smithsonian and other national libraries, the Trove serves as the preeminent repository of information for Australia, including rare, valuable, and significant works.

As such, the national library is a cousin to the world’s national galleries, endowing immortality on the works collected.

The slideshow below shows all my featured images which are now in the National Library of Australia.

Here some links to related websites and posts:

My Work in The National Library of Australia is a post from: Vernon Trent

Looking back to the tide of events during the last year, it was a hell of a year… In good and less good terms. So let’s keep the good ones and learn from the less good.
After moving back to Düsseldorf City, I got some health issues and needed to step back a little, just to recover and get back in track, as well as to “re-charge” my batteries. Thanks god, it’s all well now.

My exhibition mentioned in the previous post was a full success; I had plenty of very interested visitors and it was capped with a finissage. It was pretty much different to my previous exhibitions, with lots of hand made “alternative” process prints, such as platinum/palladium, cyanotypes and also van dyke.

The new year has started with some new projects, one of them being the relocation of my “Plutonium Labs” and it looks like the opening will be some time  in May/June this year. A pretty nice location with space for gallery, lab and studio/workshop rooms. More on this as soon the relocation starts.

And there will be new exhibitions. I’m in negotiations for shows in London (UK), Valencia (Spain) and Bochum (Germany).

Okidoki, that’s all for now and please check the galleries. There are some new images as well.

My Temporary State of Lightness is a post from: Vernon Trent

It was time for a new exhibition in Germany.

This exhibition will show many of my unpublished pieces, as well as a lot of hand made, one of a kind alternative process prints.

You are invited to join me at the opening/reception on September 4th, 2011 at 3pm.

So here we go.
The “Pirmasenser Fototage” is an event around photography and takes place from June 10th till June 26th, 2011. Among many local events, there will be also exhibitions with more than 1,400 pictures as well as workshops covering many genres, such as still life, nude, fashion, alternative process printing or cars, just to name a few.

I’m very glad to announce that the organisators have invited me to give a workshop in alternative process printing. The workshop will take place on June 11th at 4pm. I’m going to demonstrate a couple of easy to use techniques and processes, such as Cyanotypes, many variations of Van Dyke, Salt and Palladium. After a brief introduction and live demonstration, the attendees will start and create some “magic” by themselves.

June 11th 2011: Alternative Process Printing Workshop in Pirmasens, Germany is a post from: Vernon Trent

Neben den vielen Bilder die auf den Pirmasenser Fototagen zu sehen sein werden, immerhin ~1.400, Themenabende und anderen Events, werden auch dieses Jahr Workshops angeboten. Die Bandbreite reicht von Objektfotografie, über Fashion und Akt bis hin zu Alternative Druckprozessen und Automobilfotografie. Es ist für jeden Fotografiebegeisterte was dabei.

Es freut mich ganz besonders, dass die Stadt Pirmasens mich eingeladen hat ein paar meiner Alternativen Druckprozesse vorzustellen und dem interessierten Workshopbesucher Wege und Verfahren zu zeigen, wie sie archivfeste Unikate herstellen können.

Aus einer Fülle von ca. 35 Prozesse werde ich die einfacheren, “ungefährlicheren” Prozesse vorstellen und demonstrieren. Anschliessend werden die Teilnehmer selbst Hand anlegen und der Kreativität freien Lauf lassen.

Alternative Process Printing – Herstellung von Kunst- und Edeldrucken
Termin: 11. Juni 2011 – 16.00 Uhr
Dauer: 3,5 Stunden

Fine Art Photo #10 is a post from: Vernon Trent

In Greek mythology, Muse referred to any one of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science. Muse in modern day terms refers to a guiding spirit or a source of inspiration.

The kind people at NUDE magazine have sent the latest issue to press and it will be available during the next days. I’m very pleased to announce that one of my muses, Candace Nirvana, is published in the summer/fall issue of Carrie Leigh’s NUDE magazine, having a special “MUSE Feature”.

She really deserves the designation of a poetic muse, as she adds the complementary to my ideas and visions, making them one of a kind visual poems.

As far as I am informed, the NUDE editors picked 3-4 pieces of my work with Candace, among  many other outstanding images from her collaboration with other artists.

The links below guide you to a preview compilation of the upcoming issue as well as to the pre-ordering page where you can place your order for single copies or subscriptions.

The Poetic Muse is a post from: Vernon Trent

After a break that lasted almost two years, I’ll be speaking again at a convention. This event might be interesting for those who always wanted to know more about my photography, my style and workflow.

I’ll be giving an insight in the “artsy-fartsy world of VT” as well as presenting some “old fashioned” printing techniques.

Also there will be presentations held by six other photographers, covering panorama, people/portrait, wedding, commercial/product and landscape/city photography.

An “all-in-one” event, so to speak, with outstanding photographers.

The convention will take place October 30th, 2010 at

Luminanz GmbH Saarbrücken
Quartier Eurobahnhof
Lützelbachstr. 13
66113 Saarbrücken
Germany

Convention “Fotografie PUR” is a post from: Vernon Trent

On my last travel to US I’ve got to visit some friends in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia area.

During my stay we drove around and went to a place called Ringing Rocks in Bucks County.

The place is really magic, with a nice forest and very dark rock and boulder formations.

I used some of my last rolls of Kodak TXP 320/220 B&W film to shoot some images with the lovely Rhus. Please find them in the updated “Artistic Nudes” gallery.

Kudos and again many thanks goes to all US friends I’ve got to see during my stay: Scott Nichol, Bill Earle, Lorna Doone, Edward Badham & Kristina Cher, Candace, Amber, Mike, Rebecca, Michelle, Eric, Nori and James… Forgive me if I’ve forgot someone :)

Enjoy and have a nice time.
